‘I hope I survive this shock. A lady that we have been friends here (Facebook) for over 2 years chat me this morning that she would like to worship at my church today, of course I was very happy because we have not met before and I was like I will be happy to meet her.ย ย but wouldnโt be able to see her because of my busy schedule,ย ย I dropped the church address and we exchanged phone numbers. When I was through, I called her to ask if she had gone.
โShe said something happened immediately she dropped her number for me, that she heard a knock on door of her flat and asked whoโs there and a man answered and told her that a car blocked his and asked for the owner.ย ย She said she did not know but those men flashed their guns and pushed her inside. They said they have been trailing the car parked not long ago.
โAt that point, she could not do any other thing than confess that the owner livedย ย upstairs. They went there to shoot the man. He was rushed to hospital but couldnโt survive it.โ
Hector, who only last month returned to the country is said to be survived by a wife, Oseyi and children who all reside abroad.
He was reported to have gone to the Murtala Mohammed airport to pick his younger brother yesterday morning from where he wasย ย trailed by the suspected assassins.
His wife, Oseyi, is a former GUS contender from another season and the lovebirds got married on April 5, 2013.
